Green Web

A proposed transboundary demonstration and implementation corridor for rainfall retention, land restoration, hydrological resilience, ecological connectivity and scientific learning.

A proposed corridor

Connect landscapes, data and learning

The Green Web is proposed as a landscape-scale demonstration concept linking distributed water-retention interventions, restoration, monitoring and research across jurisdictions.

Doctrine: Healing the lowlands to protect the heights.

Proposed status: The Green Web and its country list are concepts under development. They do not establish an international corridor or imply governmental participation or consent.
Stylized Green Web corridor connecting restored landscapes

Proposed 18-country corridor

The list reflects the current proposal. Geographic, hydrological, legal and diplomatic feasibility would need to be assessed country by country.

RegionProposed countries
Europe & Caucasus (11)France; Italy; Croatia; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Montenegro; Serbia; Kosovo; Bulgaria; Romania; Georgia; Russia
Central & East Asia (6)Kazakhstan; Uzbekistan; Kyrgyzstan; Mongolia; China; Japan
North America (1)United States

100,000 distributed pond systems

The current concept proposes an eventual network of 100,000 distributed pond systems, with 2,000 in Mongolia’s Gobi Green Zone proposed as a first phase. These are planning targets, not existing installations.

A living laboratory

Field research would monitor water balance, soil moisture, vegetation, biodiversity, groundwater interactions, local livelihoods, downstream effects and climate resilience.
